Inspection date

Type

All food temperatures taken were internal.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
12/10/2015Routine
A follow-up phone call was made to the facility to check on the progress of the roach infestation. The facility is currently not doing food service. An employee stated that the roaches are not gone, but roach activity has gone down. The facility will call the inspector once it is ready to operate again for re-inspection.
9/1/2015 SG- Kitchen has reopened for food service.

  • Equipment Compartments, Drainage (repeated violation)
    Observation: The Pepsi cooler is not draining condensation properly and has standing water on the bottom shelf of the unit.
    Correction: Alter or replace the waste collection compartment so all accumulated moisture due to conditions such as condensation, food or beverage drip, or melting ice completely drain.
  • Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following equipment was observed in a state of disrepair and damaged: toilet paper holders are missing the pin and toilet paper is often set on the floor, the handle to the Pepsi cooler is broken off, the racks are rusting in the Pepsi cooler and the coffee hutches door is broken.
    Correction: Repair or replace to restore a state of condition that allows for proper operation, accuracy, functioning, maintenance, and cleanability.
  • Equipment - Non-Food Contact Surfaces and Utensils (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following non-potentially hazardous food contact surfaces that were observed soiled with accumulations of grime and debris: ice machine inner lip and coffee nozzle.
    Correction: Clean the surface at any time when contamination may have occurred, at least every 24 hours, before restocking the consumer self-service equipment/utensils, or per manufacturer specifications.
  • Non-Food Contact Surfaces (repeated violation)
    Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the following equipment has accumulations of grime and debris: everywhere roaches have been, inside of refrigerators (especially the mini fridge), doors to restrooms and other rooms, chemical storage shelving.
    Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
  • Refuse - Covering Receptacles (repeated violation)
    Observation: Dumpster or outside refuse container was open or uncovered.
    Correction: Cover all waste containers when not in continuous use.
  • Refuse - Maintaining Refuse Areas and Enclosures (repeated violation)
    Observation: Trash and litter were observed adjacent to the refuse container outside the facility.
    Correction: The refuse container storage area and grounds adjacent to the container are to be maintained clean and sanitary.
  • Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following physical structures in the facility noted in need of cleaning: mop room has a layer of scum built up on the floor (especially around mop sink), floors behind equipment should be cleaned.
    Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed to maintain the facility in a clean and sanitary manner.

    Observation: Mops not hung up to air dry. The mop was also in need of replacement and was approximately several month old.
    Correction: Wet use maintenance items such as mops must be hung in a position that allows them to air dry so they are not allowed to grow contamination which can then be spread through the establishment at the next use.
  • Pests - Controlling Pests* (repeated violation)
    Observation: The facility has an infestation of roaches. The facility is not currently serving food to the public and hasn't in about a month. The facility will not offer food to the public until roaches are gone.

A pest control operator is coming out weekly to perform routine pest managment services.
    Correction: Eliminate harborage conditions. Insects and other pests are capable of transmitting disease to man by contaminating food and food-contact surfaces.
08/24/2015Follow-up
All food temperatures taken were internal. The facilities Certified Food Manager Certificate expires soon. The facility is currently not operating and will most likely not be operating until roach infestation is gone according to the person in charge. A follow-up inspection will be conducted in 30 days, if the facility begins to operate before the next scheduled re-inspection date please call the inspector, so the re-inspection can be conducted at that time.
Due to the age of the building, the facility does not comply with current code requirements. In the event of a change in operator or remodeling, the facility must be brought up to the current code requirements. This may include the addition of one or more handsinks, improved lighting, repair of structural deficiencies, and repair or replacement of damaged equipment, {and proper installation of laundry facilities—for schools}.
